What do you use your AR-10 for?

[michael_aos]

I'd always wanted an AR-15, but never had a valid excuse to get one. Then I discovered 3-gun. Woo hoo!

Now that I've had this AR-15 for about a year, and been enjoying the heck out of it, I find myself wanting an AR-10.

I know it would buy me "major" PF, but I'm not sure that's a big deal. In my extremely limited experience it seems like the top guys are shooting .223's.

I suppose I could shoot "he man", but I don't have much interest in iron sights.

I'm thinking 24" barrel, not a little "tactical carbine", if that matters.

So the question is -- what do you use your AR-10 for?

Or better yet, what's a good reason to get one?

I'm having a hard time plunking down $2500 on a setup because "it might be fun".

I've also noticed it's ALWAYS windy on the 400yd range, so I was thinking something less affected by wind would be a good thing. But again, not sure what thats really worth.

I use my AR10 for target, fun, hunting. My 16 will hold 2inch groups at 200 yards no problem, Got the stainless barrel but no free floating. topped with ACOG. Also going to shoot Heavy metal class with it.

AR-10 is my fun gun (thank goodness for military exemptions on purchasing these bad boys when you live in CA).

If I make a major 3-gun match this year, I'll probably shoot He-Man or Open. If Open, I'm using the JP. If He-Man...I'm going with the 10. It's smooth and still pretty fast. Plus, it's just tough. Gotta love it.
